Latinbear Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Found this great little story on the BBC about an old control tower from RAF Goxhill on the banks of the Humber having been shipped over to the US and rebuilt. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-39935976 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I wish this country would respect and restore our own historical buildings - both ancient and not so ancient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree entirely but as ever I think money comes into it. I would be interested to know how much was spent on shipping the tower all that way across the Atlantic. Amazing that Crittall is still going and were able to provide the windows. I bet they weren't cheap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
